*Due to travel restrictions during the war period, complete meetings of the Grand Chapter Congress could not be held, so meetings of the Board of Directors substituted as Grand Chapter Congress. 

**This Grand Chapter Congress was to originally be held in New Orleans, but we moved due to Hurricane Katrina. 

***This Grand Chapter Congress was to originally be held in Cleveland, but due to the COVID pandemic, the GCC was held virtually and the in-person Cleveland event was delayed until 2022.
